Mediation Process Keeps Homeowners In Their Homes
Philadelphia court’s standing order requires all parties to any foreclosure proceeding to meet their opposition face to to face to work out a resolution. The result: 85% of participants were able to keep their homes. The Philadelphia court system’s program cost the city roughly $3,310.00 to save each home from foreclosure. Philadelphia’s program exemplifies the cost savings of mediation versus traditional litigation. In the city of San Francisco, officials estimate it costs the city over $19,000 for each foreclosure.
